Victor’s Kitchen : Old School HK Dim Sum @ Sunshine Plaza – TheWackyDuo.com

Sunshine Plaza and Dim Sum?

You usually don’t put them together when thinking of Dim Sum. Last week,
during our exploration of the Singapore Night Festival at Brash Basah/Bugis, we stumbled upon Victor’s Kitchen and decided to give
it a go.

Victor’s Kitchen

Nestled along a row of eateries inside Sunshine Plaza, your first impression
is its old-school vibes. Unlike well-renovated restaurants in the vicinity,
Victor’s Kitchen seems stuck in the 1990s. While this may not be attractive to
some, it added to its charm. This is indeed a hidden gem.

We were there on a Saturday night. Normally, Sunshine Plaza would be buzzing
with students from NAFA and office workers from CBD. On weekends, it is
relatively quiet. Yet, Victor’s Kitchen was relatively full during our visit.

Food 

Victor’s Kitchen sells mainly HK-style dim sum. This is what we had for the
visit.

Queen Size Siew Mai ($6.2)

This is one of the freshest Siew Mai we have. It’s chewy and meaty. It comes
in four instead of three pieces so a couple could share it evenly.

King Prawn Dumpling ($6.2)

The Har Gow has fresh shrimp meat. The flour wrapper has the right texture and is not rubbery. 

Szechuan Dumpling ($5.90)

Another good dish. Soak in the sauce and Chinese chives in a bite for the full
flavour.

Golden Eggyolk Lava Buns ($5.9)

This is a must-try and the house speciality. The Eggyolk oozes out once you
break the buns. 

Seafood Golden Roll ($6.3)

Crispy Fried Shrimp Rolls ($5.9)

Crunchy and nice. It’s like Popiah. Eat it with the sauce for full flavour.

Carrot Cake with  XO sauce ($5.70)

When this dish came, we thought we had ordered it wrongly. It does not look
like the normal carrot cake we are accustomed to as it is steamed and not
fried. This is another one of Victor’s Kitchen’s specialities. To be honest,
it was not the best dish for the evening. 

We ordered 7 dishes and 2 drinks. Food came relatively fast without long
breaks in between. Each dish was freshly prepared and served piping hot. In
terms of quality, they are one of the better dim sum we had in a while. At
under $50 for the meal, it is worth it.

Drinks

We had the HK Styled Ice Tea. The unique part about this tea is the way it was
served. Instead of ice in the cup, it is served in a bowl of ice. This would
ensure that the drink will not be diluted by ice.

Verdict

If you want to experience quality HK Dim Sum with old-school vibes, Victor’s
Kitchen fits right in. 

Dim Sum is priced around $5.50 to $8 per dish. There is no additional GST and
service charge included and payment has to be done with cash or paynow. 

It’s worth a second visit and we will be back!
